This article this past week in the Baton Rouge Advocate addresses caterpillars and some home remedies for treating stings. Hope it helps.
Great article, lots of practical advice. BT is great stuff to kill the catepillars.

One thing the article missed is that Benadryl (or the generic equivalent) can be effective in treating allergic reactions that may result from the poison. The generic equivalent is diphenhydramine hydrochloride. There are topical ways to apply duphenhydramine hydrochloride also, but they should not be used together with the oral medication.

Of course, always read and follow the labeling requirements.
